The fierce grandson of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 161 Who is the top venture capitalist in the Ming Dynasty?

Inside the tent.

After hearing Nai Ciwu's words, Zhu Xiong Ying felt reassured and praised, "You've worked hard. It's truly remarkable that you were able to persuade Nai'er not to spend money in such a short time!"

"We will report this to Grandfather the Emperor and request commendation for you!"

Nailawu's face lit up with joy, and he bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I thank you!"

"The success of this matter is entirely due to Your Highness's good fortune!"

"To be honest, at first, Naierbuhua did harbor resentment and spoke coldly to me!"

"But I was not angry. I simply explained the current situation to him in detail and talked about our time in the capital—"

"Only then did Nai'er relent and finally agree!"

"Furthermore, this is a letter he personally wrote to Naha, urging him to surrender. Please take a look, Your Highness!"

Zhu Xiong Ying gestured for San Bao to step forward and take the letter.

Upon closer inspection, it was found to be written in Mongolian script.

During his years in Beijing, he learned some Mongolian from some old scholars in the Hanlin Academy, thanks to his photographic memory.

So far, I can roughly understand the meaning!

Nailawu, unaware of the situation, respectfully explained, "Your Highness is wise!"

"In his letter, Nairbuqa addressed Nahachu as brothers, and spoke of the defeat and the prisoners of war, praising His Highness's benevolence in sparing their lives and treating them as honored guests!"

"Anyone who speaks of His Majesty's decrees again, and who submits, will be rewarded and their past transgressions will be forgiven!"

"At the end of the letter, he described what he saw in Beiping: the Ming army was strong and well-equipped, and the people's hearts were with it, unlike the remnant Yuan dynasty!"

"Therefore, considering our years of brotherhood and the safety of the hundreds of thousands of Jinshan followers, I urge Naha Chu to seriously consider surrendering!"

Zhu Xiong Ying put down the letter and slowly said, "Judging from this, your son Bu Hua is indeed a person of great loyalty and righteousness!"

"If we can successfully persuade Nahachu to surrender this time, we will definitely report the truth to our Imperial Grandfather so that he can reward us for our merits."

Nailawu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I thank you on behalf of Naierbuhua!"

"Furthermore, Nairbuhua said that he still has many old subordinates in Nahachu's army. After arriving at Jinshan, he will secretly contact them. As long as Nahachu makes any unusual moves, they will immediately respond to the Ming Dynasty."

Nai'er Buhua is a smart person!

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded and said, "That's excellent!"

"But when you travel to Gold Mountain in the future, you must still be extremely careful!"

"Upon arrival, do not rush into anything; first, calm the situation and explain the advantages and disadvantages!"

"After all, Naha is a man of suspicious and fickle nature!"

These words of concern.

Nai Ciwu saw the shadow of the Ming Dynasty's crown prince!

Furthermore, it features the domineering style of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Chang Yuchun, the Prince of Kaiping!

As expected of the eldest grandson of the emperor! And the maternal grandson of the Prince of Kaiping!

There's a saying in the Central Plains: "One can know the future from childhood, and observe the adult from adolescence."

Coupled with his strategic abilities, he is a promising young man!

After Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong, the eldest grandson of the emperor may be the third person to inspire fear in the grasslands!

Nailawu felt a warmth in his heart and bowed, saying, "Your Highness's instructions will be remembered, and I will act according to the circumstances, never betraying Your Highness's trust!"

Zhu Xiong Ying stood up, came over, and personally helped him up. Imitating Liu Bei, he said, "Good! We'll see Nai'er Buhua again in a little while!"

"As for tomorrow morning, we will have people prepare fast horses and dry rations, and ask the Prince of Yan to send fifty elite light cavalry to escort you all the way to the outskirts of Jinshan!"

'

"Your Highness, I thank you!"

After Nai Ciwu took his leave, his figure disappeared into the tent.

Zhu Xiong Ying did not immediately summon Nai'er Bu Hua, but instead sent someone to invite his fourth uncle, Zhu Di, who was also in the camp.

Before Zhu Di even stepped inside, his voice rang out, laughing heartily, "Nephew, I heard that Nailawu has persuaded Naier to stop spending?"

Zhu Xiong Ying looked in the direction of the sound.

But when his fourth uncle returned to the camp to rest, he had already changed into a set of casual clothes!

He quickly stood up and said, "Just as Fourth Uncle said!"

Then, the uncle and nephew took their seats.

Zhu Xiong Ying picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Nai Ci Wu, and then carefully recounted the situation of Nai Ci Wu's return.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di turned to the side, stroked his thick beard, and exclaimed, "Nephew, I am truly impressed by your move!"

"Taking advantage of Nai Ciwu's arrival, I didn't expect you, my nephew, to go with the flow and have this person bring Nai'er Buhua into the surrender persuasion team as well!"

"This tactic of using someone else's strength against them is more effective than a thousand troops!"

Seeing his fourth uncle, Zhu Di, he unknowingly turned into a boastful person.

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, you flatter me!"

"All these years, Grandfather has kept Nailawu in the capital, not so that he could do nothing!"

"When the time comes to use it, we must use it properly!"

"Furthermore, Nahachu has been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty for many years. If he were to go to Jinshan alone this time, no matter what, Nahachu would simply think he was acting as an envoy for the Ming! He would inevitably have many doubts!"

"Nairbuhua is different. He is Nahachu's brother, whom he grew up with, and his most powerful general. His word is more effective than a hundred of Nai Ciwu's words in this situation!"

After listening, Zhu Di wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "That's exactly right! Coupled with your son Buhua's letter, everything is exactly as my nephew planned!"

"Our envoys haven't even arrived yet, but Nahachu and his followers' psychological defenses are already at least half-collapsed!"

Zhu Xiong Ying brushed aside the map, deep in thought, and said, "Fourth Uncle, in our opinion, this is not enough!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di was now truly curious. He picked up the teacup, then quickly put it down and followed the gaze.

Then I saw my nephew pick up a brush and draw a circle in the northeast direction of Jinshan.

"Fourth Uncle, look here!"

Zhu Di tugged at his beard, frowning, and said, "The Jurchens are suffering?"

"According to our Ming scouts, the enemy is garrisoning 12,000 men under the command of General Guan Tong!"

"If I remember correctly, this young boy is Nahachu's nephew. He's a brave warrior and utterly loyal to Nahachu!"

"Is my nephew trying to make a move on him?"

Zhu Xiong Ying said, "The one who understands us is Fourth Uncle."

"The Jurchen Kutun, located eighty li northeast of Jinshan, was originally Nahachu's last flank defense, where the remaining grain and fodder were stored!"

"As for Tong, just as Fourth Uncle said, he is personally brave! But when it comes to unwavering loyalty, that's not necessarily true—"

I shared my personal views.

Zhu Xiong Ying then pointed to the other side of Jinshan and said, "Fourth Uncle, look again. This is where Uncle's army is located, no more than fifty li from the Jurchen stronghold!"

"Our idea is for Uncle to lead a light cavalry force in a surprise attack! But to avoid unnecessary casualties, we don't need to launch a direct assault. We just need to surround the Kutun area and then use Uncle's reputation to send someone to persuade them!"

"The chances of the young monk surrendering with his troops first, seeing that the situation is hopeless, are much higher!"

Guan Tong was a quick-witted person.

Historically, during this Northern Expedition, seeing the unfavorable situation, he had already taken the lead and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty ahead of Naha!

Afterwards, Old Zhu bestowed great rewards upon him!

During the Jingnan Campaign, this man quickly switched sides to his fourth uncle, Zhu Di, and once again successfully chose a side!

It can be called the pinnacle of factionalism in the early Ming Dynasty!

The top venture capitalist in the Ming Dynasty!

He was thus granted titles and honors, enjoyed immense wealth and glory, and died a peaceful death!
